9.2/10 Wonderful! (666 reviews)
Love the location, rooms are clean and no funky smells. We changed rooms because the mattress wasn’t comfortable in the first room but the staff was very accommodating and there was zero issues changing rooms. Wish the bathroom lighting was a tiny bit brighter. Pool was lovely. Food at hotel was tasty, drinks potent.

8.4/10 Very Good! (34 reviews)
Apartment itself was great! Sold a bill of goods on fitness center since as a renter you could only go in middle of the day. Gate access was a challenge. Code was changed halfway through stay and couldn't get back in. Property management communication was good during business hours and horrible in evenings and early mornings. 24/7 was exaggerated.
